i dunno abt the legs frankly, the squats were alright, lunges felt tough at times.
but i did get abt 2-3 inches in a fatigued and sore state, so i hope that means im onto somethin good.

i've been seeing alot of journals here talkin abt squat stance dude, what is a powerlifting stance anyway? toes more flared out, knees pointing further out?

if thats the case, i think im like that too. frm ur vids of u dong the squats, i notice that u point ur knees almost straight infront... is that better for vert?

well, if you have the hip flexibility/leg-to-torso structure, then this is how you should squat:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_jxTc2ITA8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_jxTc2ITA8</a>

if you have really long legs, then form can be changed many ways.. but generally, you want to mimic that form above ^^ as much as possible.. does that look like your squat? hehehe

my legs are long and my hip has gotten injured from going deep, so that's why i squat the way i do.. though i have been squatting a bit different lately, i'll try and video it on saturday or sunday.

peace!

Do not look up when you squat. Keep your head facing directly forwards or a little bit down. You should, however, be driving you head back into the bar.

I mean that you should tense the muscles in your neck, while keeping your neck in line with your spine, which means facing a bit down.

It helps to maintain tightness throughout the entirety of your back.

I think he might just be doing that thing that Chinese oly lifters do when they're repping out squats, you know, where they nod their head a little bit. The first guy in the video from a few posts ago does it at the bottom of his reps and Frank Yang does it, too, haha.

Do not look up when you squat. Keep your head facing directly forwards or a little bit down. You should, however, be driving you head back into the bar.

ya i agree.. occipito-pelvic reflex, hyperextending the neck can hyperextend the low back.. i like back to be pretty neutral on squat.

but squats looked good, nice power on each rep.

how were those jumps? how high did you touch on rim ?

peace!
